THE FEEDERS THAT KEEP STORE OWNERS COMING BACK

>

I’ve been breeding reptiles for years, and nutrition is everything. The difference in growth and health in my animals after switching to these roaches is noticeable. This is the only place I order from now.

— Jessica T., Exotic Reptile Breeder

quotes

We’ve tried a lot of different feeder suppliers, but these roaches arrive fresher, stronger, and last longer than anything else we’ve stocked. Our customers love them, and we never have to worry about quality.

— Ryan M., Store Owner

My bearded dragon has never been more excited for food! These roaches are clean, have no smell, and are so much easier to keep than crickets. Absolutely worth it.

— Ashley W., Bearded Dragon Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

We know how much you care about your animals—and we do too. At All Angles Creatures, we’re here to provide healthy, well-raised feeders, reptiles, and exotic mammals, along with the support you need to keep them thriving. Here are answers to some common questions:

Yes, UVB lighting is essential for proper calcium metabolism and shell health. Use a 5-10% UVB bulb positioned 12-18 inches away, running 10-12 hours daily, or provide access to filtered natural sunlight.

Maintain a basking spot of 90-95°F, ambient temps of 80-85°F during the day, and nighttime temps around 75-80°F. Humidity should be kept at 60-80% with regular misting.

Only in warm, humid climates (zones 10-11). In most areas, they need indoor housing during cooler months or a heated greenhouse setup, as they cannot tolerate temperatures below 60°F.

With proper care, Red Footed Tortoises typically live 50-90+ years. They're long-term commitments that often outlive their owners and should be included in long-term planning.

Adults need large outdoor enclosures - minimum 8' x 8' (64 sq ft), though larger is always better. Indoor housing requires at least 6' x 4' floor space with adequate height for standing.

Yes, they enjoy soaking and need access to shallow water dishes large enough for them to climb into. They also appreciate occasional supervised soaking sessions for hydration and shell health.

Yes, Red Footed Tortoises are more social than most tortoise species and can be housed together if you have adequate space. Ensure multiple feeding stations to prevent competition.

Use cypress mulch, coconut coir, or organic topsoil mixed with leaf litter. The substrate should retain humidity while allowing for natural digging and foraging behaviors.
